UPCOMING EVENT

Join us for a tour of Clear Creek Farm and a visit to the Heil’s Sorghum Farm.

We will begin the tour of our farm around 10:30 then we will travel over to the Heil’s Sorghum Farm to watch part of the process of making sweet sorghum syrup. He will begin crushing the cane in the early morning and hopefully we will make it over for the cooking down process. They helped us make our first batch of sweet sorghum syrup last weekend. Our canes made 4 gallons of juice; which resulted in 3 pints of syrup. We had a lot of fun learning about the process.

When: Saturday, September 24th

Time: 10:30

Where: Our Farm then the Heil’s Sorghum Farm in Cobden
